Re: Development Plans for the Next Release of GParted (1.0.0)

Yes, I still have 2 patches left that may be included in GParted 1.0.0

A very simple patch still related to #52 which is needed in order to address a change introduced in Gtk 3.22 that breaks the layout of the Partition Info dialog.

A rather large patch to bring back alternate row coloring in the partition list treeview. Unfortunately there is no reliable way to style treeview rows using CSS, so I have worked on a StyledTreeView class that uses custom cell renderers to draw in a theme-compatible way, i.e. with GtkStyleContexts (foreign drawing). This may also be too much complicated so I don't know if it is worth including in GParted.

Thank you Mike and Luca for your feedback. I will hold off on a release for at least the first item in Luca's post. For the second item, if the alternating table color thing is turning out to be way to much work then we probably shouldn't hold up the release for that cosmetic issue.

Re: Development Plans for the Next Release of GParted (1.0.0)

GParted 1.0.0 is planned for release on May 29, 2019.

Please feel free to make suggestions to improve the release notes.

Preliminary Release Notes------------------------ This release of GParted includes a significant undertaking to migrate the code base from gtkmm2 to gtkmm3 (our GTK3 port). Thanks go to Luca Bacci and Mike Fleetwood for making this happen.

With this major change we bump up the major version number. This 1.0.0 release is not meant to indicate that GParted is more stable or less stable than before. Instead it means that GParted now requires gtkmm3 instead of gtkmm2. Note that several other dependencies have changed as well.

As with our other releases, this one also includes several enhancements, bug fixes and language translation updates.
